SportDOG NoBark SBC-R Waterproof Rechargeable Dog Bark Collar

This collar works sometimes. It is fully charged, appropriately placed on a 38# dog with short hair. Sometimes he will bark for long periods and I am sure the collar isn’t doing anything. Occasionally he will let out a yip and stop barking. It is not fair to him to be corrected only sporadically and is not useful at stopping nuisance barking. I will have to order a different brand.

This product doesn’t work. We have a 45lb dog that barks loudly at other dogs from our balcony. She responds quickly to corrective measures, even vibration collars, but this collar hasn’t shown any sign of working when she barks. We can only assume it’s not recognizing the barks or correcting her.

We had such high hopes for these collars for our 5 year old male Yellow Lab & 5 year old female German Shephard. They weren't a deterrent more than the initial surprise of the static delivery. We tried all levels at different times, both sets of prongs, and even just let it ride for a while but no barrier. We even resorted to leaving on the manual level of 10 and the barrage of barking never desisted. We gave it a try for 3 weeks with no positive results. Time to return.

This product did not work for my German wirehaired pointer. We though we had placed it on him incorrect, but we’ve tried re-positioning multiple times, switched out the prongs, and tried every level up to 10 and still no reaction. My fiancé even put it on his neck at level 1 and barked and nothing. Would not recommend.

Don’t buy doesn’t work not at all. Even tried it in myself and barked as loud as I could. It didn’t do anything. Pure trash.

I have been using this on every setting from manual to the levels setting but it is not working. My dog barks through it. In fact, she gets excited when she sees I am going to put this on her.

I bought 2 of these at once for my 2 dogs because I have a 4 month old who they wake up constantly with their barking. It's like they're not even wearing a collar at all. They bark right through it. Must feel like a tickle to them. Will be returning both. Please save your money.

We do not use this daily. Our bully mix only really barks when he is in a new place and unsure of his surroundings (at cabin up north or other vacations that we take the dogs with). We expect a bark or two, but being a bully breed, he can get hyper focused on something and it is nearly impossible to regain attention. We ONLY have it on him when he is outside and not playing with another dog. He is a vocal player and I don’t want to punish him for playing. I set this on the manual lowest setting and it does the trick. It stops him from getting hyper focused and bring him back to me.

I love it it works beautiful but if you have a pitbull or American Staffordshire terrier you must not use it all the time because they will turn on you.

We bought this collar to assist with training our beagle/boxer mix pup to stop barking. By nature, she's a barker, and that beagle bark can be ear piercing. She was barking at everything and often kept us up at night while in her kennel. Since we've gotten this collar, it's been a life saver! No more loud barking. After a few shocks when she initially wore it, she modified her behavior. If she has it on, it doesn't even have to be turned on now. She knows. We also use it for our chihuahua mix when needed, and it works well on him, too. Again, if he's wearing it, we don't even have to have it on.

We are ordering a larger size for our husky/German shepherd mix as when he goes outside he likes to bark at our neighbors, so I think this will be a great tool for him as well. There is one downside. My beagle/boxer mix has learned how to 'get around' being shocked in the middle of the night when we do leave it on. She won't bark. But she will do these high pitch squeals to get our attention, and her throat doesn't vibrate when she does that - so she doesn't get shocked. She's too smart for her own good. … more
